Pluspunten

- You work with some of the best people (passionate readers, compassionate, enthusiastic) - You work with books!! And with some of the amazing authors who write them - Ability to take on a lot of tasks and wear many hats -working remotely

Minpunten

- A note on the above -- you're pretty much obligated to take on a lot of tasks and wear a lot of hats because 1. job descriptions are vague 2. they expect you to take on the work of 2-3 people since companies in the industry are typically understaffed (but you're supposed to work for the passion of the books) -- so people are typically overworked and burnt out - low pay - promotions are less based on merit and more likely on the amount of time you've been there. if company is having a bad year, you will likely not be promoted or get a pay raise – no matter how your responsibilities have changed. It's the nature of the business - you're expected to stick it out like others have -1-3% cost of living wage increase when inflation is 7%?!?!?!?

Great writing, Top tier production

Minpunten

The male director never asked me once how I was doing or offer any advice to calm my nerves (on my first production ever with them) which lead to a burdensome recording process.
